    If Linux gets support from Abode so I can ditch Photoshop, I’ll be there.

      Adobe may never do this. You might have some luck looking into alternative apps to the ones you work with.

      There are some very compelling, cross platform, FOSS alternatives to Photoshop (GIMP, Krita), Illustrator (Inkscape), InDesign (Scribus), maybe premier pro (Davinci Resolve isn’t FOSS, but it is cross platform. You can also try shortcut, openshot, kdenlive but they’re not as advanced).

      One thing I miss, however, is the interoperability between Adobe apps. Like copying a vector from illustrator into an InDesign document. I couldn’t do the same between Inkscape and Scribus

        Abode. Think your brain autofilled that.

        Abode is an alternative suite being developed by Culture Hustle, the company started by Stuart Semple, and who made the blackest black and pinkest pink paints, aswell as who ported the Pantone catalog after that whole fiasco.

      If you don’t need Photoshop for actual work, then running it under Wine is a viable option. CC 2019 (20.0) works fine for the most part, but you need to install it in Windows first and copy over the installed folder. CC 2023 also works, but there’s no GPU acceleration support (yet).

      Imagine paying a subscription; use Affinity Photo and Designer as these are very viable alternatives without the subscription. GIMP is not a good alternative despite it being free :(

        I agree GIMP isn’t great, but Krita is everything I ever wanted. It completely replaces Photoshop for me.

        If you’ve ever spent any time in Photoshop you know gimp is garbage in comparison. Photopea is better than gimp.

        Affinity is great, I try it every once in a while but it’s just not quite there as a replacement for Photoshop for Pro level work.

      Honestly I hope the next couple of years see more Proton work for supporting Adobe (legit copies or otherwise heheh) so more users can migrate over.

      Inkscape has improved a lot with its newest version and I pray that GIMP will speed up dev soon so maybe that’ll make up for the lack of Adobe stuff

        Yeah I want Gimp to be good so bad but I’ve been waiting for like 20 years and it never seems to change…i really want a Photoshop and Lightroom ripoff for Linux.

          Darktable is pretty neat, but i only edit photos of my dogs and gatherings of friends and family tbh, so it could lack a lot of what lightroom does and i’d never know.

          It’s compatible with adobes .dng so you should be able to get usable raws from almost every digital camera with the dng converter in wine, if your cameras raw format is not supported.
